Chapter 254: Theia’s Secret Jealousy

[So do you want to draw the random reward now?] The system said with a cheering voice, but seeing it was not having the effect it wanted, he also added.

[I would suggest you, to try it.]

[Who knows, maybe you will end up with the rewards you need right now.]

Hearing the system’s repeated claim about getting good rewards, Luke became a little suspicious.

’Is he hinting at something?’ And this thought immediately came into his mind.

’Well, we can try.’

’After all, I don’t have any hopes for this.’ With that he clicked on the icon which was glowing with green light.

[Summon Lover Theia Monthly Return.]

[Yes or No.]

After clicking on yes, it showed a loading rewards window, before finally presenting the text he wanted to see.

[Congratulations Luke! for getting B rank skill.]

[Skill Info.]

[Scarlet Dominion]

Rank: B

Type: Blood / Authority / Binding

Origin: Ancient Hemarch Civilization — Alternate Reality

Description:

A forbidden blood-binding technique developed by the ancient Hemarchs, a powerful race that once ruled a complete world in their reality.

The Hemarchs created this technique after discovering that ordinary contracts could be broken, magical restrictions could be dispelled, and even powerful mind-control techniques could be resisted.

Rather than controlling the mind, they created a binding that targeted something far deeper—

The target’s own life force.

By using a small amount of the target’s blood, the caster establishes a blood connection between themselves and the target.

The bound individual retains their free will, thoughts, emotions, personality, and independent judgment.

However, they are unable to betray the designated master without suffering the consequences of the blood contract.

The greater the betrayal, the more severe the blood backlash.

System Evaluation:

[A highly sophisticated B-Rank Blood Binding Skill. Even though it’s incomplete.]

[Recommended Usage: Subordinates, prisoners, sworn warriors, contracted servants, and dangerous individuals.]

’THIS!!!’ After reading this, Luke’s eyes became wide with shock. Because from the start he was searching for this type of skill.

After all he had a clone skill, and letting all clones sit in one place was a huge waste.

Which was even more true after finding that they could stay far without any distance limit.

So during his seven days’ stay inside the Time Chamber, he hoped to get this, but only ended up with those mana stones and other unneeded materials.

Even though he had Aurora for this type of loyalty-related thing, he couldn’t take her with him or his clone everywhere.

’I can finally start my real plan.’ He thought with an excited expression. Hell, he became so happy that he unconsciously hugged Theia tightly.

Fortunately, she didn’t ask what happened this time and was happy seeing Luke smile.

[I told you Luke.] The system also came for praise, which he gave without any restriction.

’Yes system, you are the best.’ After praising the system, he immediately started the plan.

His shadow glitched, and from that came out three clones which he had earlier dismissed.

’Go.’ He gave them a simple command, because they knew what they had to do.

Which was going to the Human Empire’s capital, and there each would make a different group. Luke smiled upon this thought.

The first clone would make an Assassin group, so he could kill his enemy without involving his main body.

While the second clone would make a Merchant group to sell those precious system-related gifts for other valuable things.

Yeah, he had earlier calculated that most of the system’s products, like Origin fruits and perfect breakthrough potions, weren’t some cheap-end goods.

Which his current territory could sell, without getting into suspicion or inviting greater threat.

So he would only sell some production-related things from his main territory, while others from the second clone.

’And finally the third clone.’ Upon this, Luke narrowed his eyes.

Because this clone would gather information about everything.

Which would help him understand this world better and even more about his wives, which he couldn’t meet currently.

’But that’s not the most important thing.’ He lowered his eyes, while remembering the system’s words.

That the Origin Titan fragments were already corrupted and it could also be a trap.

So that was why, rather than risking his main body searching for those clues, which he couldn’t even do with his current lord persona,

he would create a special information group.

’I hope this will work.’ He sighed upon that thought.

Fortunately, he got this slave-type reward, which resolved his major problems.

’The problems to recruit members for his new groups.’

Yes, after all he was planning to make the group grand and keep expanding, so he could find whatever he wanted easily.

With all that done, he calculated when they would reach back home.

"Seems like by the morning we could reach Blackstone."

Hearing Luke’s words, Theia nodded.

After all, she was the one who had brought them here, so she could clearly know the distance more clearly.

That was why they had left the cave in the night.

Morning...

1st day of Fructus month, same year.

"We are close." Luke said, after noticing the earlier breakthrough site where he had become a real titan.

Theia also observed the surroundings with melancholy. Because even for her, this was a special place.

After all, on the first day she got summoned, she witnessed Luke’s metamorphosis.

"Continue, Sunrath." He gave the order, before sitting with dignity.

Seeing Luke’s behavior, a low chuckle escaped her mouth, still she didn’t dare to comment.

Because earlier he was being so lovey-dovey and kept touching her here and there. But the moment they came near Blackstone, he became a dignified lord.

’Clearly because of the people and Lady Aurielle.’ She thought with a little jealousy.

Since she knew, that what her master did the previous day was his lust, not his love.

And there was even more possibility that he would not accept her openly.

That was why she was jealous of Aurielle, after all she could openly call Luke her husband, while she couldn’t.
